6 10 IS CHAMPION? An Interesting Question That Con cerns the Billiard Players of This City. GOOD OFFER TO THE EXPERTS. Oarsman O'Connor Returns From Anstralia and Talks of His 'Proposed Kace With Kemp. THE HOME BALL CLUB BEATEN AGAIN. Etisltt cf Lading Turf Events ui the Gtncnl Sporting News of the Day. There is to be a billiard tournament for players of this State, and it is likely to cause more than one contest in this city. "William Dodds has been requested to repre sent Pittsburg in tbe tournament which is to take place in" Philadelphia. There are several local patrons of tne game, however, who claim that 31 r. Dodds is not the best player in Pittsburg now, whatever he may have been in the past So far as known Mr. Dodds intends to compete in the tour nament. This fact caused a. centleman inter ested in the billiard business to express him self as follows yesterday: " I do not for one moment want to under estimate the abilities of 31 r. Dodds, nor to pre vent his cetticg all the engagements he can. I do claim, however, that he is not tbe best player in Pittsburg. He is an old tinier and I can name more than one player who is ready to play him a match. Of course Mr. Dodds may come out victor, but I do not thine he will, and 1 maintain that xhe question of who is our best billiard play er ouzht to be settled before any body c"es to represent this city in the State tournament. I am willing to offer an induce ment for a local contest to prove who is our best man. I know other gentlemen "svbo will assist in a content or the kind I name; that is. they will contribute toward it. Supposing e had a local tournament, confined entirely to residents of Pittsbnrg and cities as near to it as JIcKeesport, 1 am confident that it would be interestins." Tbe above suggestion is likely to be carried oat if a reasonable number of players can be secured to compete. A gentleman is willing to offer a prize emblematical of tbe championship of Allegheny county besides any money that may be offered. There are more billiard play ers in the city now than there h ive been at any time in the past and they are of a higher qual ity. This fact points to tbe necessity of having a local tournament to show who really is our bcstplajer and how he compares with others. Beat Them Again.

A. E. The President acknowledged the gift by a kiss. '.On the way to GalesburR he and Secretary Tracy rode in tbe cab of the engine at' the invita tion of the engineer, Frank Hilton, an old soldier. Mr. Harrison tooted the whistle and Mr. Tracy pulled the bell. "When the train stopped at the depot in this city tbe Pres'idental party was met by the Mayor, the Council and an army of vet erans, and escorted to the hotel, where dis tinguished citizens from all parts of the State and the "West greeted the President.

We lay this cornerstone and rcdedicate this institute wun trutn, lore and loyalty to God. Applause. following this the corner stone' was placed in position, and the President, with mor tar, carefully closed it and covered the seams. Great applause greeted this per formance, which brought the ceremonies to an end. WITH HIS OLD BEGIMENT. The party then went to the hotel for din ner, and at 3 o'clock' the reunionof theEirst Brigade, the President's old command, was held at the Opera House. To this it was found imperative to admit only old veterans and their immediate families, and even then the Opera House was almost inadequate to the occasion. President Harrison was escort ed from the hotel to the scene of the reunion by a committee headed by General Daniel Dustin, formerly Colonel "of .the One Hun dred and Fifth Illinois In Ian try. The appearance of President Harrison on the stage was the occasion for an outburst of cheers- from the assembled veterans that made the very walls tremble. After the ap plause had somewhat snbsided President Harrison addressed the veterans of his old brigade as follows: Comrades, the object'Of my visit to Gales burg was this meeting which we are to have now. I should not, 1 think, been persuaded to make this trip except for the pleasure which I expected to find in meeting the men of the old brigade, from most of whom I have been separated since the muster-out day. Time has wrought its changes upon the faces of us all. You recognize me because there were not so many colonels as there were soldiers, fortu nately, perhaps, for the country. Laughter. I saw you as individuals in the brigade line when it was drawn up either for parade or battle. SHAKINTJ HANDS. At the conclusion of the President's re marks tbe applause brought General Dustin to the front, and that gentleman spoke freely, after which the President announced his desire to shake each member of his former command by the hand. After the adjournment the veterans mounted the stage one by one and grasped the President's hand. The President was now driven to the hotel where he retired to a private room until 6 P. M. This evening the President attended a banquet civen by the Phi Delta Theta Society at College Hall, and later a banquet given by the First Brigade at the First Christian Church. At the Phi Delta Theta the President said: My college associations were broken very early in life, partly by necessity and partly by choice; by necessity ao far as the compnlson to work tor a living was upon me. and by choice in that I added to my responsibility at an early date, so that it has not been my pleasure very often to meet with or sit about the ban quet board with members of this society. It gives me pleasure to meet with you to-night. CHICAGO MISSED. This afternoon the President received a telegram from Hon. George E. DavisjDirec tor General ot the World's Fair, asking him to arrange his western itinerary so as to make a brief visit to Chicago on tbe return east To this the President this evening replied that the limited time of his Western trip and the impossibility of changing the present trip without injustice, rendered it impossible for him to visit Chicago on this occasion.

HAS The Story of the Kick Against the Recep tion of the Count of Paris All Imagin ary The Situation Perfectly Understood by the Diplomats. IFKOM Jl STAFF cdBSBSrOITDEKT, Washington. October 8. -Members of the -French Legation are both' amused and amazed at the reports sent out to the pres3 that tbe Legation are bitterly indignant on account of the generous reception of Comte de Paris and the welcome of him to America in the name of the President of the United States. "How the imaginative corre spondents got the news that the complaint hadjbeen made to" the President by "the French Legation, and tbal particulars of the matter had been formally forwarded to France, is curious in viewof the fact that neither Minister Boustan, nor Count Sala, tbe Secretary of the Legation, is in the city, and ' without them no action of any kind could have been taken. A leading member of the French Legation said to-day to the correspondent of The Dispatch: The whole story is absnrd. While tbe Comte de Paris is. exiled from France, a pretender to the throne, and unrecognized therefore as a citizen of tbe republic or as a Frenchman.lt was certainly quite immaterial to the Frerch lega tion whether the pretender to the throne of France was received by a common customs offi cer, who Gratuitously assumed to represent the President and the country, or whether he was given any sort of formal reception whatever. Even were the Comte de Pans received with tbe greatest formality and honor by the highest dignitaries of the land, it wonld be. worse than foolish, it would be idiotic, to assume that sucn welcome was to distinguish or aggrandize the pretender to the French throne. It wonld, as anyone should know, be solely on account of the conspicuous and honorable part played by the Comte in tbe Army of the Union, and his very creditable historical literary work touch ing upon the War of the Rebellion. Of course I speak only as a Frenchman, and not as a con nection of tbe legation, and I only feel about the Comte's visit as any person of ordinary in. telligence must feel, that the personal courtesies extended him on account of bis ser vices to America are quite apropos. Any other treatment would be decidedly mauvais gout. A GHOST OK A TIGHT HOPE. The Sight Witnessed by Three Reputable and Sober Canadians. rSFICTAl. TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.1 Ottawa, October 8. This evening a few minutes before 7 o'clock three men were standing in front of Voisard's grocery store at St Catherine in conversation. Suddenly one of them exclaimed: "That man will fall and be killed." He dfrected the atten tion of his companions to a house just across the street, where outlined, against the sky was plainly seen the figure of a man walking along the edge of the roof from the chimney to the edge of the eaves trough. The figure appeared to be about eight leet ip height and balanced above his head he held a long pole, such as is used by tight rope walkers. The trio looked breathlessly at tbe spectacle, expecting every moment to see the man fall to the ground. Turning slowly around, the figure ascended to the roof again, walking on the extreme edge, poised for a moment on tbe point of the roof, then appeared to dimin ish in size, finally disappearing altogether. The three men were almost terror stricken, and rushed across the street into the yard, expecting to find that tbe man had fallen, but no trace of man or pole could be found. The men who saw the weird sight are re spectable, reputable people, and they agree in their recital of the story with the single exception that one of them says that the man was in his shirt sleeves and had dark vest and trousers, while tbe others say that he had a full suit of dark clothes on. Xhe heavy pole was distinctly seen "by all three, held aloft by the figure. BRITISH EYES ON 0TXB SALT. Englishmen Figuring on Purchasing Famous Kansas Deposits. 1 Kansas City, October 8. A party of Brooklyn, New York and London people arrived in the city this morning on their way to Hutchinson, Kan., under- tbe'escOri' of Benjamin Blanchard, of Terre Haute, whose business interests are all at Hutchin son. The object of the visit is to investi gate the famous salt deposits' at South Hutchinson, Kan., with the view to their ultimate purchase. Three years ago these mines were discov ered, and upon tests proved to be the only domestic salt in America at all able to com pete with the British salt.

ISFECIAL, TELEQUAM TO THE DISPATCII.1 Philadelphia, October 8. It was re ported to-day that the result of a conference between Senator Quay and Collector Cooper on Tuesday was that -the latter should suc ceed Chairman Andrews in the management of the State campaign. The rumor has been current since Senator Quay's first visit to this city, and when Chairman Andrews was spoken to on the subject, he said: "It is a political canard, and it is a part of tbe busi ness of our enemies." Collector Cooper is more demonstrative than Chairman Andrews, aud in an inter view said: "The story-reminds me of many published by the same authority when I was Chairman. If Colonel Quay visited the city there were flaming headlines that Chair man Cooper had beeu deposed, and that Colonel Quay had himself assumed the con duct of the campaign. These were simple canards invented with a view to create the beliet that Republican counsels were divided and demoralized. They were never true, and the present one touching tbe deposition of Chairman Andrews is just as false." PATTISON AROUSES THE IHNEBS.
